Disc Pads: Front 69-81: Ceramic
Reviews

    These are  New Ceramic Heavy Duty Front Disc pads that are for more abnormal use or for people with very high HP engines and need a very Hi performance disc pad.

These are not required for everyday cruisers.. Original material is organic or standard.. but that usually also leaves a lot to be desired.. most ...probably 95% of owners/cruisers would be best to use a Semi-Metalic pad (# PW10081) 

Here are the basics on the THREE main compound types..

  •   Standard.. which are normally the softest, cheapest normally and wear out faster and are normally attributed to dust noticed more from them, normally less wear of disc rotors.
  • Semi - Metallics... the meduim to upper range needs for good highway/city/ heavier driving.
  • Ceramic Pads.. usually outperform the others by a lot BUT are harder.. better suited to heavy industry / or higher temperature motor sports needs. They are cleaner as they tend to wear LESS but wear out disc rotors faster.
  • "Attributes for Ceremic Pads.."

     * They're quieter than semi-metallic pads
     * They create less dust, keeping your wheels cleaner, BUT DO WEAR the disc rotor more.
     * They last longer than semi-metallics
     
      Against...for Ceremic Pads.
    * They're not recommended for high speed racing or heavy-duty towing - they need to be hot to perform normally at their peak.
  • * They're generally more expensive than comparable metallic pads
    * They don't work as well as Metallics in cold or ice.. or shorter trips.
    * They generally cause more wear to brake rotors than metallics

Application:

  • 69-81 models Firebirds, Trans Am, Camaro, GTO/LeMans, Chevelle, 69-77 Nova, Many Cadillac's, Monte Carlo's, Impala.
  • Use these pads... for GM front disc brakes...
  • Semi-metallic USA produced front disc pads for the original single piston caliper.
  • As these suit all USA GM Single piston calipers.. if your car has single pistons it may very well be these.
